We are huge fans of customizing every little part of the engagement ring! It’s clear that there are so many ways to incorporate your style into your design. The basket of the engagement ring is the perfect place to start. Below you’ll find the different basket styles possible!
The Basics:
Martini Style VS. Airy Basket
The martini style top is a very classic look that follows the gradual taper of the diamond’s pavilion. This is ideal for anyone looking for a minimal and delicate style to hold their stone.
RS-198 featuring martini style prongs
The airy basket top is a great alternative if you’re looking for something more unique! This style allows you to see the lower half of the pavilion of the diamond suspended in the air with the culet floating above the band. Keep in mind that diamonds interact with light from the top of the stone so the floating style doesn’t make the diamond sparkle more.

The Customizations:
Diamond wraps + Diamond encrusted tops
If you’ve decided upon a martini style top, you can either keep it clean and simple with no stones, diamond encrust just the 4 prongs, or add a wrap.
If you want to add a wrap then you can also choose whether it will go over top the 4 prongs or between the 4 prongs.
Pave diamond wrap OVER the prongs
If you’ve decided upon an airy basket style setting, then there’s already a wrap in this design which goes underneath 4 prongs. You can either do a plain basket or diamond encrust just the wrap, or diamond encrust both!
Once you’ve decided upon the top, you can decide whether or not you want a plain or diamond band. The band can vary in thickness. Our most popular band is our thinnest 1.7mm pave band! For a slightly heavier feel while still looking delicate, try a wider pave band with slightly larger diamonds.
Any of our settings can be made in all one color 14K gold, a combination of two 14K gold colors, or all platinum.
